My heart and prayers go out to the people of London and Great Britain during this tragic time. This is a tragedy for all the world. Your country is far more prepared than we to cope with the destruction and horror of these attacks, and I am confident the British people will triumph. I'm sure the perpetrators of this horrible crime will be pursued, caught and prosecuted, and it will be done through the good old fashioned intelligence and police work for which the British are justifiably famous.

I've always been an Anglophile, so this is really horrifying to me.They are handling it so much better than we are. I was listening to Washington Journal a bit earlier, and a lot of the right wingnuts are saying stuff like "let'em try it here, we'll shoot'em" and "see, Islam is evil", etc., etc.. You know how they are...we don't even know who did it yet, and they're making judgements and wanting to shoot people. A lot of people were using it to justify their politics, a lot on the right, some on the left. What blows my mind is the lack of knowledge. Some of the RW seem not to know that Great Britain and Europe have dealt with terrorism for more than, what, 30 years now? and maybe know a little more about HOW to deal with it than we do.
